In response to increased customer demand for more payment options, Domino's launched Afterpay in Australia, unlocking access to buy now, pay later pizza plans. Knowing that customers have different payment preferences, Domino's is adapting to the needs of consumers in Australia with a flexible option that caters to unexpected, unbudgeted moments in life.
As Domino's shared in a press release, "For some customers, Domino’s can be an ‘emergency meal’: a hot and fresh delivery for when the unexpected happens. The offer of a safe, hot meal to comfort a friend in need; last-minute catering for a birthday party after the supplier fell through, or a fix for a hungry family during a neighborhood blackout right at dinner time."
Just as customers can checkout online with a credit card, Google Pay or PayPal, Afterpay is now offered as an alternative payment choice.
